Thursday, January 10, 2008

There's too much photos already.. so I break into days to blog.. and I can't blog all in one day.. too much.. last night was spent sorting out the photos into days.. then I need to select those nice ones to blog.. so didn't blog all the photos.. think if blog all, my website will definitely hang when u all see it.

Day 3

In front of the train station (shanghai train station).. to take a train to Wu Xi (another state/province/city.. I dunno what izzit..) China is too big!

The waiting area.. but there's no more people already because everyone has boarded the train already.. we reached just a few minutes before the train sets off.. we were rushing our way to the train platform..

Dear and me getting onto the train.. the train is very clean and nice.. unlike what I imagine.. I thought it would be very slow n dirty n I will dread the train ride.. haha.. but it's pretty enjoyable.

Us on the train..

Wu Xi!!!! First attraction location: Xi Hu (west lake).. Second location: Shui Hu Zhuan.. Third location: San Guo Yan Yi (three kingdom) themeparks.. Last location: Wu Xi City Area.
First attraction location: Xi Hu (west lake)

Photo taking on the boat on the travelling across the lake to an island (turtle island)..

Silly dear don't want to get up from his seat to take photo because the wind very strong.. then when he talks to lifen, he'll turn his head but his hood doesn't turn.. so resulted in this funny pic..

The turtle has a dragon head, a long neck, turtle shell, tiger's claws and snake tail..

With the Happy Buddha.. hope I'll stay happy more often.. *happiness*

With the Sleeping Buddha.. I love to sleep!!! Zzz..

Praying..

With a very huge statue of Lao Zi..

Second attraction location: Shui Hu Zhuan themepark

There's alot of actors on the streets in the themepark for us to take photos with.. Here r 2 very shuai actors whom I took photos with.. I think they look very heroic..

The actress (Pan Jing Lian) who just stand by the window and pose and act pretty.. Boring job!

The flying show that we watch.. the finale was the xiang long shi ba zhang.. they used alot of explosives.. very loud when they explode.. very scary!

Hands-on with the weapons.. Fighting with Desmond..

Dear sitting on the chief's chair in the show..

Eating the small snacks which we bought along the way.. I like the lu xu tang.. it's made by threads of flour.. very powdery and inside got matte sugar.. *sweet*

Some sceneries around the park..

Third attraction location: San Guo Yan Yi (three kingdom)

Sceneries in this themepark..

The miniature boats that they use to fight in three kingdom.. and Dear told me the story then.. but I can't really rem already.. but I m impressed with Dear's knowledge.. u noe why the boats are chained up to one another? It's because the soldiers are afraid of water.. so when the boats are chained up, it won't rock so much.. then won't be so sea-sick.. smart hor?

The three kingdom story show.. with Warriors fighting on real horse on a real field in front of us.. but I watch until I fell asleep!!! Lifen thinks it's interesting because they are fighting on horses but to me, all these china stories are like bedtime stories for me.. plus I was feeling tired from all the walking.. hahaha.. so I sit down already will sleep.. lol..

Photo taking before the show..

The men entering the field on horses..

During the show.. Lining up before the war began.. and then I fell asleep..

On a big olden ship.. the wind is STRONG!!! that's why we had our hoods on.. *freeze* Nice nice photos with the Sunset.. *smilez*

The adventure area where kids try out the balancing beams etc.. I tried the slide but the balancing poles, I don't dare to try because I've weak knees and it's not good to injure myself by falling during this trip.

Lifen is good at balancing..

Dear dancing on the balancing beams..

Dear helped me and made Desmond lose scissors paper stone halfway during the beam to me because I dunno how to jump down from the beam.. it's quite high above the ground.. then in e end, Dear has to make me jump n he carry me.. *sweet photo*

The Maze.. Dear n Desmond won.. me n lifen both lost inside.. n I m so lost that a guy brought me out of the maze from the entrance n not the exit!!! I m supposed to go to the exit.. n it's so unfair that Dear n Desmond think together n they managed to get out so fast! They r really smart perhaps.. they'll think of the ways that are tricks n detours while I blur blur just follow the path.

Look at how big the maze is.. it's HUGE!!!

Dear, Lifen n Desmond..

Me..

Last location: Chong An Shi (wu xi city area)

We ate our dinner there.. tried local food.. ate their traditional cold dish n la mian at this restaurant or cafe? The food is horrible! I hate the local food man.. it makes me lose all my appetite.. guess lifen n dear also didn't like the food coz we all didn't finish our food.
